Ordered that the appeal from the order dated March 13, 1990, is dismissed as no appeal lies from an order denying reargument; and it is further,
Ordered that the order dated December 6, 1989, is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the defendant is awarded one bill of costs.
We find that the Supreme Court properly denied the plaintiff's motion to vacate a prior order of preclusion which dismissed the complaint. The plaintiff failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for the three-year default in serving a bill of particulars and that he had a meritorious cause of action (see, White v Leonard, 140 A.D.2d 518; La Buda v Brookhaven Mem. Hosp. Med. Center, 98 A.D.2d 711, affd 62 N.Y.2d 1014). Bracken, J.P., Kooper, Lawrence, Balletta and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
